I have started using the new Outlook desktop interface. In the older version I was able to enter this search term: Folder:inbox and select all mailboxes and it would display all my inboxes from different email accounts. I cannot find the equivalent in the new interface. Does it exist? How can I look at the inbox of all my accounts without having to do them one at a time?
Using New Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management

Please let us know if this "by design" bug will be fixed. This strongly effects my work. I will be researching other mailboxes to use in the meantime.
Can I concur with the other users - this is an extremely useful feature and because I have new and old outlook currently set up differently the "just use the old outlook" functionality doesn't work for me.
I also rely heavily on the Search all mailboxes function. I think this is an essential function and needs to be included.
A related issue - when composing a message in the previous Outlook, there was the option to change the account from which it is sent, even after you had composed the email - in the New Outlook, changing the account deletes any content I have written - I may as well just create a new email. Managing multiple mailboxes is a constant challenge and this is another function being removed in the New Outlook.
this is a very useful feature. It would be nice if implemented in the new outlook. I was a heavy user of this feature in the older versions
It is by-design? Are you kidding? We've been waiting for a unified imap inbox for more than a decade. A workaround was searching across mailboxes. I have an old Macbook Air I use just to run a functional Outlook with unified imap inbox.
